Loddon Bridge Park & Ride to reopen tomorrow

Wokingham Borough Council closed the provision, which is located next to Showcase Cinema at Winnersh Triangle, this morning after a flood alert for the River Loddon was issued by the Environment Agency following the heavy rain which fell over the area yesterday.

The authority opted to close the provision because of fears the adjacent river could burst its banks and spill out on to the floodplains at nearby Winnersh and Sindlesham Mill.

However, the Environment Agency removed the flood alert from the river earlier this afternoon and a spokesman for the borough council has said the park and ride will reopen tomorrow.

Barkham Ride, which also had to be closed to passing traffic because of flooding, has been reopened.
